I checked, sadly I do not have a bag o' stealth parts in my garage. Any chance you would sell me yours?

you guys have made it to "True God" status. How more awesome can it be than having Curtis himself congratulate you for your work.

Mega-respect And once I've made it through the whole recent development of this thread (been on and off lately!) I'll pick one up!!!

Thanks!

It just keeps getting better and better

I saw this buggy this past weekend at the VONATS. After seeing it, I knew I had to build one myself!

I need to start selling some more stuff to get some funds together for this build.

+1, I need to sell off stuff to pay the card that I already used to preorder lol!

Gents, just spoke to the chassis material supplier and we should be good to go very soon. I am waiting for my new business member account so I can post up the details. The panels are being started. Very soon guys very soon, keep this on on your radar.

Race debut video was shot by Jirka.

Long story short - I had a plan to practice/test a couple of days and drive stock class with blinky 17.5T. It all changed to one lap practice and modified class because of one week rain before race and stock class not beeing scheduled. So there I was in final race of Finnish Offroad Championship series 2014.
I started carefully in practice and Q1 with 17.5T motor. Car was easy to drive but understeering (can be seen on video also). I thought it was caused by really wet track that provided huge amount of rear bite. In its normal condition that track is nicely old-school with loose top surface. Not this time.
It was time for 10.5T motor then still with blinky ESC. Now the car was even easier to drive and all double jumps caused no problems anymore. In Q4 gearing and speed was quite good but I screwed it up two times. So D-final was my result. Still my true result was something else... I had officially raced with a Stealth replica

A couple of days later I took the car to my RC-Club home track. Dry weather and nice track condition. Just then I realized ground clearance had been way too small all the time. After correcting that car was much better and understeering wasn't a issue anymore. I handed the wheel to my friend JL and took some action shots...

michael vollmer is creaming in his pants right about now.

So just to make this as Oozzee ( read Idiot) proof as possible will we be able to purchase all parts required from 1 supplier, looks like i will have to get cracking on the BST application, also will Ultra Hive be producing painted bodies for sale and does that Also go through the BST section.
Thanks in advance

It sounds like Jake (Seabass) is setting up a store for the carbon, G10, and aluminum parts.
The plastics are already available on Shapeways (I've preordered a set and two for another person)
Not sure about bodies, you may need BST for that (I haven't heard a peep yet)

What's left, shock towers?

That's Jake also

Cool cool, that must be the G10.

This is truly next level stuff here, can wait to get some.

chassis, top deck, stand offs, trans brace, front/rear shock towers and front bumper comes from jake. wing mounts too, i believe.

stealth specific parts you get from shapeways - front bulkhead, front arms, castor blocks, steering knuckles, steering bellcrank, rear arm mounts, and rear arms. also the rear motor guard if needed.

everything else - trans, shocks, hinge pins, cvd's, turnbuckles, etc etc etc, is all up to you.
